MANUFACTURING WIRE PILE FABRICS FROM PRINTED WARPS. t

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 27, 1908.

Application filed May 11, 1906. Serial No. 316,271.

To all whom 'it 'may concern:

Be it known that we, PAUL KAPPLER and CARL KAPPLER, subjects of the King of Prussia, residing, respectively, at No. 34 Bonnerstrasse and No. 80 Kreuzstrasse, Dren, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Empire of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manufacturing Wire Pile Fabrics from Printed Warps; and we do hereby declare'the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enable ot ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our present'invention relates to manufacturing wireile-fabrics, such as carpets, rugs, covers, rniture-plushes and the like, from printed warps, according to which for the formation of the pile-naps or tufts there is alternately made use of two identically printed warps instead of the one pile-warp employed in the process hitherto utilized.

By means of this new` process the same length of pile and of woven pattern as hitherto obtained can now be produced with the aid of printing-drums of but half the circumference, or with a warp-pattern of but half the length of those hitherto required; or again, a pile of twice the length can be roduced with the aid of printing-drums o the same circumstance, or with a warp-pattern of the same length as hitherto employed.

A rofitable manufacture of certain articles om printed warps, such as for 'in-1; stance long piled carpets of larger fixed sizes, seems only practicable by means of this new process, because the old process would require printing-drums of such large dimensions that because of the high expenses caused thereby, and also on account of certain difficulties encountered during the work, their employment would scarcely be admissible.

`In the accompanying drawing the positions of the threads in a pile-fabric made according to our new process are shown.

A and B represent the two identically` printed pile-warps, which are working alternately in forming pile-naps or tufts.

To prevent the displacement of the threads and to obtain the pattern aright, both pilewarps are beamed upon the same beam, and

during the time the one or the other of these- PAUL KAPPLER, CARL KAPPLER.
